From Dropout to Deal Maker — The Bet That Paid Off

What does it take to turn nothing into everything?

Polygon founder Taiwo Adeyemi walked away from university, left the safety of his parents’ home in Ibadan, and started over in Lagos with no plan B — just an unshakable belief in himself.

From failed artist to graphic designer, ad man to industry broker, he hustled his way into multi-million naira deals and, in 2025, became one of just 30 Skoll Fellows in the world.

It began with a signed undertaking to his family that he was going his own way, come what may — and the discovery of The Virgin Way and Richard Branson’s dropout story. Fueled by the certainty that failure wasn’t an option, Taiwo proves self-belief can turn the impossible into inevitable.
